Patient's question:
After the child was born, everything was normal. However, 3-5 days later, the child's face began to turn yellow, gradually the eyes turned yellow, and then the neck also started to turn yellow, and the yellowing became more and more pronounced. How can newborn jaundice be observed?Doctor's answer:
It is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a bilirubin level check to determine the baby's condition based on the test results. If it is not severe, you can take oral antipyretic medication. Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia may occur. The order of neonatal jaundice is from top to bottom. If the lower limbs are currently yellow, this indicates that the number may be very high and hospitalization treatment is required. Observe the condition of the face, but it is still not possible to confirm the jaundice disease.
